Another night of loneliness She sits waiting for his call In silence she grows restless Emotional rain begins to fall Tonight her phone will not be ringing His calming voice she will not hear In reddened eyes there is a stinging The threat of squalls is drawing near Roses he'd given, withered and dried Fragile petals crushed, lying in her hand "What have you done to us?" she cried, as she slipped off her wedding band In breathy whispers she called his name, remembering his touch; sweet embrace Then the haunting memories came and the look of anguish lined her face Days, weeks, then months rolled by a semblance of peace she'd finally found Until the night he called and said, "Hi." In emotional rain she almost drowned No shelter from this impassioned storm No tincture is there to cure such pain Upon her cheeks were rivulets warm; another downpour of emotional rain ~ Upon request, this is being reposted from several years ago.
